Abstract
A battery terminal includes an outer terminal segment, the outer terminal segment being made of a first conductive material; an inner terminal segment being made of a second conductive material different from the first conductive material and having an upper end connected to a lower end of the outer terminal segment forming a connection portion between the upper end of the inner terminal segment and the lower end of the outer terminal segment, and a protection member around the connection portion. With the battery terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention into batteries, adjacent batteries can be connected together more reliably.
